I don't buy all this 'cats in bags' thing either. Everyone knows you carry cats in pint glasses.  |

Do the seats on the bus have legs that support them?
It would depend on the type of seats (and how many there are), and we're not given any of that information... |

OK here goes
Each girl has big cats with 196 legs
Each big cat per girl has 196 legs
Therefore each girl has 392 legs
Answer must be 392x7 - 2744 legs

I think this is an error, each girl has 7 big cats (total 196 legs), each big cat has small cats with 196 legs, so the total for the small cats should be 196 (legs per big cat) * 7(number of big cats per girl)? |

Sigh. What's in each bag? There's a bus with 7 girls. Each girl carries 7 bags. Each bag carries 7
big cats. Each big cat carries 7 smaller cats. In each bag: 7 big cats = 7 x 4 = 28 legs 7 x 7 small cats = 7 x 7 x 4 = 196 legs So in each bag there's 196 + 28 = 224 legs 7 bags per girl = 1,568 legs Plus the two legs of the girl = 1,570 ..and we have 7 girls so, 1,570 x 7 = 10,990 (minus the legs lost due to accidents, land mines, amputations, etc.) 10,990 legsthis was done on page 1 of the thread. |

The correct answer is 10,990.
Funny reading through some of the answers though. I was hoping TK the maths geezer would have a go. He would have had a GASS trying to solve that one.
